Hello #BluePitHype! I'm Petrana and I'm a journalist by day and writer of everything else by night. I'm currently #querying my YA sci-fi about alien abductions in a small desert town, while drafting a romcom and a fantasy! I enjoy karaoke, D&D, and dim sum :3

i drew more this year than i have in my adult life and i'd like to thank my two muses: Bucky Barnes and Miffy

me @ my email while waiting for ANY updates

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

Anyway if anyone’s looking for an incredibly choice driven game with amazing art that’s 100% HANDDRAWN might I recommend scarlet hollow by @blacktabbygames.com store.steampowered.com/app/1609230/...

Did you know that every single background and sprite in our games is painstaking drawn and inked by hand? Every line matters, across literally thousands of illustrations. 😤

some exciting life updates featuring latkes, brisket, mutant snowman, and cat

I thought I told all of you guys to stop unionizing! Why are there more of you??????????

well my new-to-me GOTY is tied between are a smutty browser game and a mobile merge game so take that

when you've had an absolutely terrible year, listening to phoebe bridgers' cover of 'have yourself a merry little christmas' might make you cry

The agreement between the Walt Disney Company and OpenAl for Disney to license its content to Sora, a short-form generative Al video platform, raises several major concerns that not only affect animation workers but consumers and families around the world. Please read.

a reminder for the millionth time: your peers, NOT corporations, are making the media you want !!!!!!!!!

next year I’d like to hear less “you’re so resilient” and more “you just got *more* good news?”

“I brought this horrid creature into the world, and now I must take him out!” Winfrey said

It’s the most wonderful time of year ** ** Dash & Lily rewatch season

If you haven't played this game yet, what are you doing with your life One of the most intricate, thought-provoking, surprising visual novels I've played in a long time.

i do actually curate my spotify wrapped but bc it's a running bit for me to get margaritaville as my top song for as many years as i can

JFK is a wonderful place bc all the ride share lanes are shut down due to construction so you’re supposed to go to a designated lot via the air train instead but guess what — the air train is also under construction

2 out of 4 games down !! And I have to say, despite it’s many flaws, I had so much fun with da2 <3 So here are my favorite little guys ! Get pixelated idiots !! - #pixelart #dragonage #da2

baby's first tv spot feat chaotic office background (i had it blurred intially but that didnt work so everyone watching CBC just has to behold my mess 😭) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm5F...

Instagram was like omg happy birthday we compiled a video of some great moments for you and it included my layoff announcement so thanks lol

squeezed in my bday party before the holidays 💜

updated my wicked broadway ost x wicked movie ost playlist. if u even care open.spotify.com/playlist/7kS...

when i get too sad about not covering wicked 2 or the mighty nein show, i also think about how i dont have to sacrifice my holidays to cover stranger things and then i get happy again, so thanks for that netflix

i was trying to think back on the best TV i watched this year but unfort i lost my job so to cope i just watched 11 seasons of frasier woops

this is just so ... disheartening lmao

i did it i finished rewriting my book

sorry i go weeks without saying anything then i just get possessed by the Posting Demon

me finishing this book in 2022: hm maybe its a LITTLE unrealistic that this plot point hinges on a completely fabricated video footage but its sci fi so i can be a little unrealistic me editing in 2025: so completely fabricated video footage is just a normalized part of daily life now

i dont think we talk enough about how devastating it was for the asian american girlies with complicated relationships with their moms for Turning Red and Everything Everywhere All At Once to come out within months of each other in 2022

looking for a job and looking for a new place to live at the same time is a special kind of humiliating because nooo what do you MEAN you dont want the fruits of my labor what do you MEAN you dont want me to pay you every month so i can live somewhere

Please buy this beautiful book for your coffee table and support one of my union colleagues. Makes an excellent holiday gift.

The fandom subplot of witch watch is genuinely when of the best portrayals of female centered online fandom I’ve ever seen it makes me SO happy

Happy N7 Day! ❤️

ref vs final image lmao

Happy Ten Years 💜

Inbox— next cover of the New Yorker: “Mayor Mamdani,” by Edel Rodriguez

26 billionaires spent over $22 million to beat Zohran Mamdani. Why? Because regular people came together around an agenda that prioritized making life easier for more people. It beat big money. That is how we win.

ugh i am CRYING again

genuinely beautiful that new york elected a muslim lefty mayor the same day that dick cheney died

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-) he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

There are more of us than there are of them.

every seasoned sims player

some dude was out on my street with a megaphone loudly going "VOTE FOR SLIWA" which honestly was kinda pathetically cute

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

MORE bc we r so cute

Happy Halloween!!!
